P200 Platform

The P200 platform is an evolution of the PROBA platform which has acquired extensive flight heritage, accumulating more than 25 years in orbit without failure on any of the launched satellites. This P200 is capable of supporting payloads up to 70 kg and targets spacecraft mass less than 200 kg, making it compatible with typical shared launch opportunities and small satellites launchers.

The P200 is a fully redundant design and features a very high level of autonomy, opening the door to low operating cost and very high system availability (> 99.9 % demonstrated in-orbit). In addition, the P200 has market leading pointing, agility, and data throughput capabilities that can be used to enable cost-effective missions and enhance data return.

Available Payload Volume:
The layout of the P200 platform allows to accommodate several payload configurations; the complete payload panel at the top of the platform is dedicated to the accommodation of the payload. The payload panel directly accommodates all the payload electronics. Harness is routed through cut-outs in the top panel, along the platform frame towards the bottom board for connection to the platform.

Generally, the P200 platform is designed as to keep the interfaces between the platform and payload as simple as possible while imposing also limited constraints on the payload. This makes the platform flexible to various type of payload, making P200 a multi-mission platform capable product.

The available payload volume (in case of Vega dual launch) is shown in the figure right and corresponds to 650 x 670 x 490 mm^3 . Depending on launcher, larger payload volumes could be supported.

Specifications:
Payload Mass Allocation: 70 kg (standard configuration)
